Beyer blasting NY racing on ATR

how does he add validity to common sense if you like to bet horses? i am a NY bettor and it did not take this many weeks to figure this out.(most knew what was coming when monmouth announced) i still do better at belmont, its just not as interesting. the favorites in Ny are many times, way over bet. like those goofy numbers are valid too. they are for lazy people that can't watch a race or rate classes of horses by actually reading the form.

When someone of Beyer's influence in the game says he likes what is happening with Monmouth this year, it adds validity to what they are doing with their racing model. I can only speak for myself but I am far more interested in betting Monmouth this year due to the changes. As you stated yourself, bigger fields, big purses, big name connections, jocks, what is there not to like?

Track monogamy is about as antiquated in the present period as playing pic 3's/4's/6's is. The idea is to get what you want, i.e. ADVANTAGEOUS PLAYS, from a whole bunch of tracks. That's what I do. And my thread yesterday was all about this: the fact that on a Thursday, in the summer, so many of the larger tracks were CLOSED, leaving me with pretty much nothing to do but squeeze TWO plays out of the pitiful BEL card. YET, today/tomorrow/sunday, I'll have my hands full with all the tracks operating at pretty much the same time. Certainly not the best way to market the game in the present era.

I think everyone on here realizes by now that when you post, it's always all about you.

Or Quality Road.

I think the point he is making is a good one, minus the Quality Road bashing.
